Grants for Families Wanting to Adopt

Grants for Families Wanting to Adopt
Article from NACAC

When Becky Fawcett and her husband Kipp adopted their first child in 2005, they paid about $40,000. Following a conversation with her adoption attorney, Becky came up with an idea to start helpusadopt.org, a national nonprofit that would provide families with grants ranging from $500 to $15,000 to help offset the often hefty costs of adopting. The program is open to all prospective adopters regardless of race, religion, gender, ethnicity, marital status, and sexual orientation, and can be for any type of adoption (private or agency, domestic or international, or foster care).
